How To Make A Handy Siphon
Joe Pietsch, Warren, Mich.: “Here’s how to make a handy siphon. Get a 1/4-in. copper tee, three 1-in. segments of 1/4-in. copper pipe, a rubber squeeze bulb, and a few feet of 1/4-in. rubber hose. Solder the copper tube segments to the tee, attach a section of tube to either end of the tee, and put the rubber bulb on the part of the tee that goes off to the side. To use, put one end of the hose in the fluid, hold the tee and bulb down below the level of the fluid, hold your thumb over the other end of the tubing, and squeeze the bulb. As the bulb expands, it will draw fluid out of the container and it’ll keep flowing.”
